The Proto-Albanian Origins of Latin Caelum: A Linguistic Exploration

This is a translation of an article written in the Albanian language on November 22, 2022.

The earth holds me up, just like a tree, mountains, hills, rivers, and animals – it supports them all. As we observe the world around us, we notice that these elements are not just a few isolated things; there are hundreds, a vast array of them. Everything exists on this earth, and our understanding of the world is shaped by the physical environment that surrounds us.

The concept of "all" might seem quantitative to modern humans, with the infinite stars in the sky influencing the word for this concept. However, for primitive humans, "all" likely referred to a multitude of tangible objects that stood together, sharing a common connection. The early human brain was more attuned to concrete thought.
The origin of the word "*qiell" (sky) in Albanian is a fascinating example. Its formation is related to the constituent elements within it, such as "yll" (star), "yje" (stars), "il" or "el" (related to light or sun), and a possessive code. The Albanian language's monosyllabic structure and simple plural formation showcase its linguistic elegance.

When considering the first words formed by primitive people, I believe that verbs like "jam" (to be) and "kam" (to have) were among the earliest. If we were to ask a primitive person about the sky, they might respond with "*ka ilet" (has stars) at night or "*ka elin" (has the sun) during the day.

This theory could also shed light on the origin of the Latin word "caelum" (sky), potentially derived from proto-Albanian "*kailet" (has stars) or "*kaelin" (has the sun). This etymological connection highlights the importance of understanding the historical context and evolution of languages.

Why Robert Beekes failed on Pre-Greek

Robert Stephen Paul Beekes (Dutch: [ˈbeːkəs]; 2 September 1937 – 21 September 2017) was a Dutch linguist who was professor of comparative Indo-European linguistics at Leiden University and the author of many monographs on the Proto-Indo language. European. Robert Beekes also worked on Pre-Greek, the language he called non-Indo-European, spoken in Greece before Greek, according to him probably around 2000 BC. Since this language was not written, Beekes took his information from many words in classical Greek that show a non-Greek structure and development. One of these words is *ἀδάμας , whose etymology I deduced in 2014 without reading his book. I wrote in this blog: "Do linguists know that ἀδάμας – adámas of old Greek exists in today's Albanian in the form of "pa ndam"? When I read his book and these very words, I was stunned. How can a linguist of such a level not understand this word and its origin. Beekes writes: "Adamas, hard metal? Diamond? Derived from...

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M / Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010) wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall" in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

In this article I will cover the origin of the letter D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation. It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true. Certified Translations Get Pricing Order Translation What is the Oldest Language in the World? There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world? So what was the first language? Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...
